Wood Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturer Revenue Benchmark

Average Wood Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturer Revenue per Year 2022 Economic Census

The 2022 Economic Census counts every manufacturer of wood kitchen cabinets and countertops with paid employees, both custom shops and stock cabinet plants, and publishes their combined annual receipts.

Employer Establishments at Year Five Varies by cohort

Household and institutional furniture and kitchen cabinet manufacturing, NAICS 3371, the 2018 starting count compared with the count of five-year-old establishments in 2023.

Across the 2014 to 2018 cohorts, five-year results ranged from 58.4 to 81.6 percent. This benchmark covers Household and institutional furniture and kitchen cabinet manufacturing, NAICS 3371, as a whole, and this category accounts for 6,390 of the 10,113 employer establishments in it. A count by age is not a survival rate, because the figures compare two headcounts rather than follow one set of businesses.

Payroll as a Share of Revenue Official data

Payroll divided by receipts, both as published for the same year.

Payroll share of receipts, Wood Kitchen Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturing, United States, 2022 Economic Census.

Approximately 24.0 percent of every revenue dollar goes to annual payroll, a modest share because plywood, hardwood, hardware and finishes carry a large part of every job alongside the cabinetmakers and finishers who build it.

Payroll here excludes benefits, employer taxes and owner compensation, and it excludes materials, hardware, finishing supplies and installation subcontractors, which together make up much of what a shop spends on a kitchen.

Business Scale and Ownership Structure Official data

How large the average establishment is, and whether the population is independent operators or multi-site companies.

Scale and ownership, Wood Kitchen Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturing, United States, 2022 Economic Census.

The average establishment employed about 16.7 people, and the industry averaged 1.0 employer establishments per firm, which confirms that multi-establishment ownership exists in the published population without showing how establishments are distributed across firms. As an illustration, that headcount could be a production floor of cabinetmakers and finishers with an installer or two.

These are arithmetic industry averages. They state the size of the average establishment and show that multi-establishment ownership exists. They do not show the distribution of business sizes and they do not measure market concentration.

Questions Worth Asking BusinessNES analysis

Wood Cabinet and Countertop Manufacturer: what custom work, stock lines and the housing cycle do to the average.

Before you rely on this benchmark

• Custom or stock? Custom shops build to measure for one kitchen at a time with design time and site visits, while stock plants produce standard lines for dealers and builders in volume. The category counts both models, whose revenue per job, equipment and margins differ.
• Who is the customer? Homeowners, remodelers, builders and dealers buy cabinets on different terms, and a shop tied to a few builders rises and falls with their starts. The customer mix decides how exposed a manufacturer is to the housing cycle.
• Does the shop install? Installation brings control over the final result and additional revenue, along with vehicles, site labor and liability. Shops that install and shops that deliver to a contractor report different revenue and payroll for similar cabinets.
• What do materials cost this year? Plywood, hardwood and hardware prices move with lumber markets and imports while a signed quote stays fixed, and that difference lands on the shop.
• What is the finishing capacity? Spray booths, drying and finishing skill often limit throughput more than cutting does, and a shop's finishing setup decides both quality and volume. Equipment and environmental compliance for finishing are fixed costs outside receipts.
• How does imported cabinetry compete? Ready-to-assemble and imported cabinet lines sold through dealers and online compete on price for standard kitchens, while custom fit and finish keep higher-end work local. A shop's position in that spectrum shapes its result.
